Day 8. Much health. #japanese #quail Will drop their fat and up le protein a little today. Currently dehydrating tuna with electricity to add in to their feed, just like nature intended . . . Looool. ♥️ They currently seem to be enjoying 31.3°C/88.34°F. Dropping .3°C/.5°F per day. #food #fren #babies #eggs #homestead #permies #coturnix

Peas. Corn. Radishes. Carrots. #minimumtill Radishes down le hill. Carrots v small and amongst le grass. #gardenstr #notill #permaculture #food

Jar in le middle is a splay-leg training station. Have just dropped le temp from 35°C to 33.3°C ~55.55 hours in on average hatch. #birds #eggs #foodstr #homestead #grownostr

Last Sugar Baby for the season. ♥️ This basically grew in sand but next season will involve more weird organic matter and much moore diverse microbiota. #buildingsoil South Hem Advices: Plant extra wombums if you are in le Northern Hem right meow.

Hour 42: the zoomie-plerps begin! Our tiny precious turd machines. ♥️ #plantfood Might drop the temp today, although there is still one wee flen in the 'bator who would probably prefer to first encounter 35°C/95°C in the brooder. Most are rather well. 20 have hatched and live. #quail #homesteading #gardening #cutestr #baby #permaculture #selfreliance #fren #chick #gardenstr

We just planted heaps of peas, broccies, brussies, onions, raddies, and cazzas (3 different kinds of carrot) ether side of this dreamy duo. Exciting. Most of our chillies have now been shut down for winter but these two are still happy so we will be more hands-off (less choppie choppie) for a wee while meow. #gardening #plantstr #grow #foodstr

Zero day attack? Nope... Day zero cuteness attack! These are coturnix quail who have only hatched in the last day or so. There are stones in their water so they do not drown. They are eating a 24.5% protein and 5% fat feed (heavy on the meal worms as they were what we had initial access to.) We will introduce some more fish meal I think, to get protein, DHA, and EPA higher. These chickies are mainly for manure and eggs, so the typically prescribed 28-30% protein level might not be as necessary as it would be if they were for meat only... Still thinking about it anyway. The thermostat is cruising at 95°F/35°C. Will probably drop it 1.69° per day starting tomorrow. #homestead #poultry #cute #gardening #petstr #foodstr

Adolescent peyote/ Lophophora williamsii looking rather plump after their last watering and nutritional supplementations before winter. #gardenstr #cactus #grownostr We will keep these dry now until spring has sprung in a few months or so, otherwise fungus gnats might find an opportunity to rip through them in a heartbeat, which would be sub-optimal. #permaculture #psychedelic #wisdom

21 blocks to gooooooooooooooooooooo.

Le telephone and le Green Feast. Peas step-up as le tomatoes step into le relish. 🥰 This is basically the sunniest patch at the SWIMstead. We had some daikon in here about a month ago: they are in the pickling process currently. (Dehydrated and hot-rehydrated and now sitting in le fridge waiting for us to spice and hot-oil.) The land we are on is a hill of sand, and we have changed it to a few catchments with great fun sweats and shovelings. All the water and nutrients eventually collect in this lower patch, which used to be a firepit before we arrived here. So, these peas will be growing in charcoal-flavored sand with an array of scattered glass and metal . . . Amazing where plants will grow. #gardenstr #foodstr #homesteading #permies #cookstr #permaculture

Jalapeno. Mushroom Chilli. Oreganyes. Just had 1/5th of a mushroom chilli in a beef bone broth ramen and now I am high. What is this sorcery. "Burn a liquid concoction on hot celsius and kelpachlorics for the fatal facial." #grow #notill #spicy #snacks #stomachdoesaburn #hot #cookstr
